Agreed 100%. Radiation is a very slow climb back to somewhat normal. And yes it does put your life into perspective. Well said!

Agree on the radiation treatment being the worse to recover from. Radiation being accumulative, is the worse once you get to the last 2-3 weeks of it. Might wanna get the feeding tube to help with keeping your amt. of weight loss down and nutrition up. It’s a journey for sure but you can do it for better days ahead.

@hrhwilliam was wondering about your journey and if after all treatments you followed a specific diet. Or did your eating pretty much go back to what you ate before? Reason I ask is because I'm attempting to completely overhaul how I eat and really working to get in shape. Doctors don't seem to say much about the nutritional aspects of this stuff. And I don't really know if it makes a lot of difference but it does seem to give one a sense of control in what is an uncontrollable situation.
